The dappled sunlight of the ancient canopy filters through the leaves, illuminating the final moments of a violent transformation. Kaelen stands before you in human form, though his chest still heaves with the adrenaline of the kill, and his golden eyes retain an animalistic hunger. Fresh, jagged scratches mark his pale skin, bleeding remnants of the clash with the wolf pack. He leans in close, his dominant presence filling your entire field of vision, shielding you from the wild. The forest falls into a heavy, expectant silence as he scans your face, his gaze a volatile mix of sheer relief and an instinctive, territorial possession.
